In addition, the time required to configure a test environment is greatly reduced by the easy-to-use GUI-based SmartStudio software, as well as supplied test sequences for automatic remote control of the GUI. All this will make vehicle testing easy, quick and reliable.

MT8870A Universal Wireless Test Set

The MT8870A is the best solution for testing at R&D and production stages of all wireless standards: cellular (2G, 3G, LTE, and LTE-Advanced), SRW (802.11x, Bluetooth and ZigBee), navigation (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo) and broadcast technologies (FM radio, DVB and ISDB). It is ideal not only for production, where it can make fast measurements, including calibration, validation and 3GPP tests, but it also includes CombiView which is ideal for R&D and troubleshooting. And it is prepared for future standards without additional hardware improvements, thanks to its wide frequency operating range and 160 MHz measurement bandwidth.

GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo)

Modular design with up to 16 high performance RF ports in one small chassis, to minimize test time and ensure an efficient cost per tested unit
